    Notes on the interior tear-down process!

    I WILL BE ADDING MORE TO THIS AS THE TEAR-DOWN COMMENCES... I tore out a large portion of my interior trim to work on my stereo install. LOL...it looks so bad right now. Driving to work is going to be interesting the next few days. As promised, here's a few odd notes that I hadn't seen...

    The good showed up!

    A few tools to buy and I'm goin' crazy in a driveway somewhere. Probably not next weekend (I live someplace that's shoulder-to-shoulder with Mardi Gras celebrations next weekend) but SOON. Until then, swagshot.

    Just bought up some audio gear! One quick question:

    Everything should be arriving in a few days. I'll be installing once it warms up enough to do so (after Mardi Gras, at least). Plenty of gear-slutting, unboxing videos and stuff coming up so stay tuned. Before I get started though; I'll be amplifying my doors and I loathe the concept of...

    2012 vs. 2013 Stereo Harness?

    87 Octane (Top Tier) - 60mph cruising in heavy traffic

    Peaked at 59mpg, this was my interstate average for the (relatively short, 9 mile) trip home from work. Not bad for a 1.8L...even if I did have to drive like SuperGranny to get there. :banana: Took that picture at the first light off the interstate, by the time I got through the streets to...

    Short-term garage rental.

    I bought my Sonic a little over a week ago. Just a couple hours ago the news blew up that massive storms producing hail, high winds, etc were on their way. :blankface: I don't have a garage. :eek: So I thought, what would be the next best option? Car wash stalls, and bank drive-thru's are too...

    So I bought a Sonic...

    Can I be in your guys' club? The nitty gritty: 2013 Sonic LT HB, 1.8l Mocha Bronze Metallic w/ MyLink. Signed the papers at 4 miles, on Thursday. She already has 140+ and I only have a 9 mile commute. :eek: I got tired of my Grand Prix and the mechanical problems she had...so it was time for...
